Specify
AgION™ antimicrobial-coated steel is available from AK Coatings, Inc., a subsidiary of AK Steel Corporation. AK Coatings recommends, for all products where microbes are a concern, that engineers specify “AgION antimicrobial-coated steel.” Specify just as you would specify gauge, coating, content and other steel-specific information. Please contact AK Coatings for more detailed information on how to specify AgION antimicrobial-coated steel for your products.

For specific applications, such as spiral ductwork, products developed by select manufacturers may be specified. Lindab is offering the SPIRO® + AgION^TM duct system treated with the AgION antimicrobial compound. It's the only self-sealing round duct system with the added protection of AK Coatings' antimicrobial-coated steel. And it can provide added cleanliness to HVAC systems where cleanliness is a priority. Learn how to specify here.
